Compression and correction of data

Latest comment: 20 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The Holodomor is listed as having killed 2.5 million to 4 million people, which is contradicted by the article for it. However, the data for the Kazakh famine and Holodomor could be compressed into the Soviet famine of 1930–1933 and list the death toll as 5.7 to 8.7 million, as listed in the article the cumulative famine. This would give much more accurate data; I calculated the result of all genocides that Stalin ordered to occur in the Soviet Union to be 8.9 to 12.8 million people. I also think that maybe some data on foreign affairs should be added to the death toll since it's said that there is none in the table. IIikewolves (talk) 12:58, 4 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
